Default Back from Porsche Camp-4 in Colorado

Here are a few pictures (taken with my cel phone, sorry)...I did the one day program as everything else was booked but still worth it (in the 3 day you get to drive Cayennes, in the 1 day is 911s only). Cars run with regular winter tires (not snow tires) and its amazing how much grip they have.

Great experience, highly recommended.

It looks like a lot of fun! Was this the Camp 4 or 4S?
I went to Finnland on Camp 4S in the beginning of January, and it was great. It was really exciting when the car was totally sideways in 3rd gear, and you feel that you still have control over the car..
Here is some pics that shows what happens when you feel in control, but you are not....

I understand that there is not much difference in the C4 and the C4S..
Take a look at this link. http://www.porsche.com/international...=1#gallerytabs

"Once you have completed the Precision training, you can take part in this intensive Performance course, offered at Camp4S in Rovaniemi (Finland) in cooperationwith the Porsche Travel Club. Situated near the Arctic Circle, the training facility offers ideal winter driving conditions with snow guaranteed. "

Man that would be a blast! Can you imagine getting pulled over after this course; "It's alright officer, Porsche said I could drive like that!"

Looks like fun! Bummer that it's sold out.
